Subject: [PATCH v16 4/7] sched: Fix runtime accounting w/ split exec & sched contexts

Without proxy-exec, we normally charge the "current" task for
both its vruntime as well as its sum_exec_runtime.

With proxy, however, we have two "current" contexts: the
scheduler context and the execution context. We want to charge
the execution context rq->curr (ie: proxy/lock holder) execution
time to its sum_exec_runtime (so it's clear to userland the
rq->curr task *is* running).

Then instead of charging the execution context (rq->curr) for
the vruntime, we charge the vruntime against the scheduler context
(rq->donor) task, because that is the time it is donating when
it is used as the scheduler-context.

If the donor and curr tasks are the same, then it's the same as
without proxy.
